THE Presidential Programme for Professionals (PP4P) is set to convene a high-level Annual Stakeholder Convention in Harare this Wednesday, with a sharp focus on harnessing technology, innovation and human capital to accelerate national development.

PP4P, an initiative that unites professionals to collaborate with the President on addressing socio-economic challenges, is positioning the convention as a strategic platform to advance sustainable development in line with Vision 2030.
